When you come to your first session at HarmonyPath Inc., we will review your personal health history, review any referring practitioner's recommendations and the reason you came. Together, we will then decide on a plan of action that will focus on your area of concern, along with other areas that may be related.
In determining the best approach, I may check your physiology for restricted or painful movement, gently feeling for tenderness, and looking at your posture.
The most important thing is that you feel comfortable. Whatever level you're at or whichever massage or body work modality you would like to try, you'll have someone to help you assess your specific needs and suggest an appropriate program for you to meet your wellness goals.
I provide 30 minute, 60 minute and 90 minute sessions. In some cases I recommend a "massage series" if there is need. A "series" helps to augment the healing process over time at the body's own pace.
A series may be a 60 minute massage session once or twice a week, or even twice a month. Each massage in a series goes a bit deeper and builds on the work completed in the previous session. The appropriate frequency, duration and number of massage sessions for a series depends on each individual's unique issues, severity, how long you may have had a certain condition, as well as your overall health. Pregnant women as well as chronic pain sufferers all benefit from series sessions.
Finally, and this is the best part, you get a massage! We go into the massage room, a blissful, relaxing environment -inspired by nature- reserved especially for you.
The massage room has a heated massage table fitted with clean white linens, soft music, and the scent of fragrant oils in the air. Relax and enjoy!
There are a number of services that I offer. Here is a list of them, along with a brief explanation of each.
Massage Therapy
Because of the high skill in a number of various massage techniques, your particular situation will be evaluated and assessed to help you recharge and restore the energy and creativity you need to successfully meet your life challenges. Relax you are in good hands.
Hot Stone
Smooth polished stones are heated and potent aromatic oils and incorporated into a profoundly soothing massage session designed to relieve tension and rid the body of muscular aches and pains. A wonderfully relaxing experience.
CranioSacral
This therapy is performed on a person fully clothed. Using a light touch-generally no more than the weight of a nickel---the rhythm of the craniosacral system is monitored to detect potential restrictions and imbalances.
This gentle method of detection and correction encourages your own natural healing mechanisms to dissipate the negative effects of stress on the central nervous system. You also benefit from better over all health and resistance to disease.
Reflexology
The benefits of stimulating the feet for healing purposes were known to our ancestors all over the world. Many cultures directly connected the health of the body to the feet. In many indigenous cultures, the feet were the spiritual connection to the vital force of our mother earth.
Pressure point massage, which forms the basis of modern foot reflexology technique and is related to the ancient practice of acupressure dates back as far as 5000 B.C. This wonderful therapy includes a relaxing foot soak in therapeutic foot salts.
Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese word meaning universal life energy. It is a non-intrusive method of hands on healing that taps into the energy referred to by philosophers and martial artists as ki in Japan, chi in China, and prana in India.
Many ancient cultures, including the Japanese, Chinese, Indians, and Egyptians embraced the belief that life energy flowed through the body, deeply affecting our bodies, minds and emotions.
Current research strongly suggests that energy does extend throughout and beyond the physical body, and that disruptions or imbalances in its flow correlate to physical, mental and emotional illnesses.
Reiki alleviates pain and stress, and promotes restful sleep, healing and relaxation. Reiki can benefit persons of any age and in any state of health.
Sound Therapy
Music effects life energy. Through the use of 7 quartz crystal singing bowls this provides and effective method for activating the overtone that help the body to rebalance with the vibration of sound.
Raindrop Session
Raindrop Technique is a powerful, non-invasive tool for the body that brings about electrical alignment.
This technique integrates application of pure therapeutic-grade Young Living essential oils, which are dispensed like drops of rain from approximately six inches above the back and applied along the vertebrae and the muscles on the back and neck. The same oils are integrated into reflexology points on the foot. This process takes approximately 40-60 minutes.
The effects of the oils may continue to work in the body for five to seven days. Helps to breakup disease patterns.
Feelings Session
Negative experiences and ideas are recorded in our brains and locked into our memories throughout our lives. These memories range from mild to extreme and have a profound effect on our health and happiness.
Health experts are beginning to recognize the connection between physical disease and emotional turmoil. Research shows that stress and other negative emotions compromise immune function. In order to become who we were intended to be, we must erase these negatives and reprogram our thoughts to make positive ideas our reality.
Twelve therapeutic-grade Young Living essential oils are applied to the body to help restore emotional wellness.
